Article: Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees, 8/17 @ 6:05pm CT

It's like listening to Summer Breeze, on repeat.

back to Seals and Croft???

[DaveW]

I agree with you... I've been concerned about the bullpen for quite some time and I'm shocked that Terry Ryan didn't address it.

 

If I was Molitor I wouldn't be comfortable with any option at this point. But in the end...It's baseball.

 

Sometimes 7 to 5 leads in the 6th don't hold.

or if you are the 2015 Twins, they rarely hold. Edited August 18, 2015 by DaveW

Molitor sends a crappy base stealer running and he gets tossed out? What is this buzzaro world???!?!?

Bring. back. Gardy.

What was Gardy's record against the Yank's again?

[big dog]

 

I am watching the NY feed and the news is that Mitchell has a minor nose fracture and was discharged from the hospital.  They will watch him for concussion symptoms.

 

In game thread related news, my back yard is infested with hummingbirds and they hum bad music from the 1970s.

So I think that actually, your yard is humming with hummingbirds, and infested with bad music?

No worse than Molitor's is going to be if he keeps making these decisions.

You say this into a mirror three times and Gardy appears with Punto and Rick Anderson.

 

That's the post of the night

[Gibby]

Yay! Now we have a shot at a DP.

what was Gardys record his first year managing?

[Aggies7]

The worst part about giving up this lead is that Gibson walks a guy who could barely swing and couldn't run. And now ellsbury is on to lead off the inning. The twins should be winning by 3+ runs with all the hitting they've done. Just embarrassing.

[big dog]

Ellsbury's on.  So I say, no matter what, I don't care, you walk McCann.

[howeda7]

Punto and Gardy. Together. *Shutters*

The problem isn't so much choosing Duensing, IMO.

 

The problem is the lack of palatable choices.

 

And that's on the GM, and has been all.  friggin.  season.

 

For the record, if you were happy TR didn't "trade away the farm" at the deadline, you probably shouldn't be complaining about the bullpen today.

You mean TP.

[howeda7]

Who thinks we're winning this?

[Aggies7]

Haha the bullpen is just so bad, I'm having trouble finding the words.

GLORM!!! My old friend... How's the MRS?

 

Now you Type: Been Missing my beer for quite some time. 

[SwainZag]

2 lefties reach in a row against O'Rourke....ouch.

[DaveW]

Ryan needs to do the honorable thing, not only as a GM but a Man in general and resign ala Doug Melvin. This bullpen is an embarrassment.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Who thinks we're winning this?

I have not yet lost the faith.

 

But alas, technically it is tied, so right now, we're not winning...

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

We had determined earlier that the Dahli Lama was the nibbler. 

Will I never live that down?

[ScrapTheNickname]

I went to yoga, just got back. Missed a lot. 300+ comments? What's this? Yankees haters coming out of the woodwork?

[Riverbrian]

Nope... If Bark was here... He'd have Bark Art up already for a visual. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

You mean TP.

Alas, a pop up unsets it up...

 

But that's okay. The DP is now equivalent.

TD is filled with fine, right-thinking Americans.

 

And Canucks, come to think of it.

[SwainZag]

That's one........now let's have that ground ball DP Casey.....

Yes, this.

 

Duensing came into the game in the sixth inning.

 

Baseball games have nine innings.

 

Count the good Twins relievers.

 

Innings Remaining - Good Relievers = ?

[Gibby]

I am in the camp that believes.

[glunn]

I think that the stealing has been terrible and that the bullpen is not great.

 

On the other hand, it's August and we are in a meaningful game, tied against a hot Yankee ballclub.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Mr. River, you can do it all. Can't you photoshop, too?

[Aggies7]

Is fien really going to walk the guy with 9 lifetime at bats in front of McCann? Yes. Yes he did.
